[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][C]
[Em][D][Em][C][G][Em]
[Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
You [Em]wait for a si[C]lence
I [Em]wait [G]for a wor[D]d
[Em]Lie next to [C]your frame
[Em]Girl unob[D]served
[Em]You change your po[C]sition
And [G]you are changing [D]me
[Em]Casting [Am]these shadows
Where [G]they shouldn't be

[Verse 2]
[Em]We're inter[C]rupted by the
[G]heat of [D]the sun
[Em]Try ing to pre[C]vent what's
[Em]already be[D]gun
[Em]You're just a [C]body
I can [G]smell your [D]skin
[G]And [Em]when [Am]I feel it, you're [D]wearing [G]thin

[Verse 3]
But I've [Am]got a[Em] plan
Why don't [D]you be the [Em]artist
And [C]make me out of [G]clay?
Why don't [D]you be the [Em]writer
And de[C]cide the words I [G]say?
'Cause I'd [Em]rather pre[Am]tend
I'll still [Dsus4]be there at the end[Em]
[D]Only it's [G]too hard to [Am]ask
Won't [Dsus4]you try to help me
[G][C][Em]

[Verse 4]
Sat on [C]your sofa, it's [G]all broken [D]springs
This [Em]isn't the [C]place for those [Em]violin [D]strings
I [Em]try [C]out a smile and I [G]aim it at [D]you
[G]You must [Am]have missed it
You [Dsus4]al ways d[D]o[G]

[Verse 5]
But I've [D]got [G]a p[Em]lan[C]
[Em]Why don't you [D]be the artis[Em]t
And [C]make me out of [G]clay?
Why don't [D]you be the [Em]writer
And de[C]cide the words I [G]say?
'Cause I'd [Em]rather pre[Am]tend
I'll still [D]be there at the [Em]en d
[D]Only it's [G]too hard [Am]to ask
Won't [Dsus4]you try to h[C]elp m[Dsus4]e[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]You wait, I wai[G]t,
[D]casting shadows, inter[Em]rupted
[C]You wait, I wai[Em]t, casting sha[D]dows,
inter[Em]rupted
[C]You wait, I [G]wait, cast[C]ing [D]shadows,
inter[Em]rupted
[C]You wait, I [G]wait, [D]casting shadows

[Verse 7]
[D]Why don't you be the [Em]artist
And [C]make me out of [G]clay?
Why don't [D]you be the [Em]writer
And de[C]cide the words [G]I say?
'Cause I'd [Em]rather pre[Am]tend
I'll still [D]be there at the en[Em]d
[D]Only it's [G]too hard to [Am]ask
Won't [C]you try to help [Dsus4]me
[G]Why don't

[Verse 8]
[D]you be the [Em]artist
And [C]make me out of [G]clay?
Why don't [D]you be the [Em]writer
And de[C]cide the words I [G]say?
'Cause I'd [Em]rather pre[Am]tend
I'll still [D]be there at the [Em]en d
[D]Only it's [G]too hard to [Am]ask
Won't [D]you try [Dsus4]to help me
